Chapter 246 Testimonies of Suspects 1 and 2
At this time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were standing on the side, could not help but turn their heads to look at Xia Xi. They always felt that Xia Xi had become much less talkative, especially after Barbara mentioned the "Sky Harp", her mood was a little off and she looked a little worried.
Compared to Xia Xi's slightly worried mood, the attitudes of the children in the Junior Detective Team were much more positive.
When they heard about a harp called "Sky Harp" and such a nice name, they immediately became very interested. The children gathered around Barbara and asked various questions about the "Sky Harp".
"Sister Barbara, is that Sky Harp really beautiful?" Yuan Tai asked curiously.
Ayumi couldn't wait to ask, "What color is it? Is it as beautiful as the sky?"
Mitsuhiko was more concerned about the music: "What kind of sound can the piano produce? Is there anything special about it?"
Barbara answered the children's questions one by one with a smile and was amused by their innocence.
Conan stood quietly aside, watching Barbara interact with the children of the Junior Detective Team thoughtfully. He keenly noticed the change in Xia Xi's mood after she mentioned the "Sky Harp". Is there anything special about this harp?
But Conan did not express it directly, but kept his doubts in his heart.
"Hey, this is an investigation site. Although there are no casualties, Miss Barbara, you are still a suspect. It's not good to be so casual..."
Hattori Heiji, who had been focusing on the investigation, saw the suspects chatting enthusiastically at the crime scene. He spoke out in dissatisfaction to stop them and then brought the process back to solving the case.
"So, now, please each of you tell me why you want to enter this practice room." Hattori Heiji said to the three suspects with a serious face. At the same time, he glanced at Conan with dissatisfaction.
He secretly complained in his heart: What's wrong with this guy Kudo? Usually when he encounters a case, he is very active, but today he is distracted!
Thinking of this, he glared at Conan again, indicating that it was important for him to solve the case, and then turned around to continue questioning the three suspects.
Suspect No. 11, Mizuno Ai, was practicing in the same practice room as Nel, but Nel left the practice room first at 15 o'clock, leaving Mizuno Ai alone in the practice room. It can be seen from the surveillance that she left minutes later.
Facing the questioning looks from everyone, Mizuno Ai frowned and loudly defended herself righteously, "Why, can't I practice a little longer? Yes, I'm a little jealous that Nelue dances better than me. But I just want to practice a few more times to narrow the gap a little. As for hurting Nelue, I don't have such a vicious idea, okay!"
At this time, Conan has come back to his senses and focused on the incident at hand. After all, he doesn't know enough information about Teyvat, and it is too early to think about these things now.
After listening to what Mizuno Ai said, Conan looked at Mizuno Ai's expression which did not show any guilt at all, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
This girl seems to be fine, could it be that she really didn't do it?
The others took note of her words and said nothing more, turning to look at suspect number two.
Suspect No. 5 is Yoko Murata, a staff member in charge of setting up the preliminary round stage. She walked into the practice room 5 minutes after Mizuno Ai left the practice room and stayed there for about minutes before leaving.
Because she was regarded as a suspect, Murata Yoko looked a little uneasy. Seeing everyone looking at her, she immediately began to explain stumblingly: "I, I came here to discuss with Miss Nilu about the stage arrangement for her performance. We had some disagreements when we discussed it yesterday. Miss Nilu's requirements were too high. I, I really can't do it."
At this point, Murata Yoko lowered her head, looking a little aggrieved. After waiting for a while, she continued, "So, I came here today just to find Miss Nilu and ask her to be less strict and lower the requirements a little. Unfortunately, there was no one in the practice room when I came, so I left."
After hearing the words of suspect number two, Murata Yoko, which seemed to have a hint of meaning, Xia Xi suddenly looked at Murata Yoko, feeling a little unhappy.
Paimon was also indignant: "This Yoko, was she just implying that Nel was making things difficult for her? That's too much. Nel has such a good personality, how could she make things difficult for no reason? I think the criminal who wanted to hurt Nel is this petty-minded woman."
Xia Xi nodded in secret agreement.
